We are at the Iveagh Gardens and James Vincent McMorrow and his band are about to play a gig. This is Irelandâs return to live music â a pilot event to test the viability of outdoor performance in the age of Covid. On the way into the venue two young women are helping each other with their wrist bands. âYou forget how to do it,â says Sarah McNamee. âAll we do is go to gigs normally,â says her friend Saoirse Raleigh, who bonded with her originally over gig-going. âI honestly cried on the Luas on the way in⦠We said if we got tickets, weâd get matching tattoos.â
